Water supply, sewerage & waste management · recurring service contracts and a fleet

A visit outside the contract with no invoice is a service you pay for twice

Water treatment, wastewater and recycling companies run on recurring contracts, a fleet on the move and output that can be sold. The losses come from visits made outside the contract with no invoice, and from recycled output sold for cash with no entry. Furat ties the contract to the visit, the visit to the invoice, and the output to stock.

Quick answer

What's the best accounting software for water and waste treatment companies in Saudi Arabia?

The right water and environmental software must give you five things: recurring service contracts billed automatically by the number of visits or quantities, route and fleet scheduling with the cost of every trip, work orders closed with the customer's signature, recycled output as stock that is sold and invoiced, and ZATCA-compliant invoices. Furat brings them together in Arabic; the package starts at SAR 189 a month before VAT, live in two to four days.

Why a system matters here

Why doesn't general accounting work for a water and environmental services company?

Because your service is delivered at the customer's sites on a recurring schedule and measured in visits, tonnes or cubic metres. On top of that come a fleet on the move and output that can be sold. A general system records a fixed monthly invoice and lumped-together costs, so it knows neither the extra visit, nor the cost of a route, nor the value of the output. The right system measures the service, the trip and the output.

A contract with a visit schedule

The contracted number of visits or quantities is fixed; anything more is invoiced or approved by a documented decision.

Every route with its trips and cost

Fuel, driver and maintenance for every disposal or service route, against the revenue of the contracts it serves.

Output sold with a document

What recycling produces is a stock item with a balance, a price and a tax invoice when it is sold.

Benefits

What Furat adds in water supply, sewerage and waste management

Six capabilities built around running water, sewerage and waste management services in the Kingdom.

Periodic service contracts

By number of visits, by quantity or for a fixed amount, with automatic billing on the due dates.

Route and visit scheduling

A visit schedule for every customer and site, with work orders assigned to crews and closed with the customer's signature.

Fleet and trip cost

A record for every vehicle or tanker with its operating hours and maintenance, and the cost of every disposal or service trip.

Billing what goes beyond the contract

Out-of-scope visits and quantities are tracked and billed at a contracted rate, not estimated after the fact.

Recycled output stock

Output items with balances, prices and sales channels, and a tax invoice for every sale.

Consumables and treatment materials

Chemicals and filters with balances and reorder levels, issued to a site or a plant.

Risks and losses

How does Furat protect you from losses and risks?

Five losses that keep recurring at water and environmental services companies, and where the system stops each one with a control, not personal judgement.

Off-contract visits with no invoiceA client's request done as a favourThe contracted number of visits is fixed; anything more is invoiced or approved
Output sold for cash with no entrySold on site with no documentOutput is a stock item that only leaves on a tax invoice
A loss-making route that keeps repeatingNo comparison between a route's cost and its revenueA trip cost and a margin for every route, in a regular report
A treatment material runs outNo reorder level for critical materialsA reorder level and lead time, with a suggested purchase order
A visit recorded but never madeA paper sign-off with no proofThe work order closes with the customer's signature and the time and place it was closed

In recurring services, two extra visits a month for every customer add up to a month of free service a year. The difference is keeping the contract inside the system, not in the supervisor's memory.

Tie your visits to your contracts
Before you decide

Six points that settle the decision for a water and environmental services company

Written in advance, so you can compare them with any provider before you sign.

Close a visit from a phone

The technician closes the work order with the customer's signature, a photo and a location, so every visit has proof nobody can dispute.

E-signature for contracts

Service contracts and addenda for extra visits are signed from a phone with an audit trail and a timestamp.

Reports fit for auditors and regulators

Financial statements and quantity and visit reports that your auditor and the relevant authorities accept.

Tax compliance is our job

Every invoice is issued ZATCA-compliant and connected to the FATOORA platform, and every regulatory update reaches your account with no upgrade fee.

Questions water and environmental services companies ask

How are recurring service contracts billed?

Every contract has a billing model: a fixed amount, a price per visit, or a price per tonne or cubic metre. The tax invoice is issued automatically on the due date for the visits or quantities actually delivered and confirmed by closed work orders, so no service is billed that was not delivered, and none is delivered without an invoice.

How are visits beyond the contract tracked?

The contracted number of visits or quantities is fixed on the contract, and the system compares what was delivered against it. Anything more shows as a billable line at its contracted rate, or needs explicit approval to be given free — so waiving it becomes a documented decision, not a silent loss.

Is recycled output managed as stock?

Yes. Every saleable output is a stock item with a balance, a location, a cost and a sale price, and it only leaves on a tax invoice or a documented transaction. So the quantity, value and margin of the output read like any other product, and no side sales stay off the books.

How long does it take to get Furat running at a water or waste company?

Two to four working days. We set up the chart of accounts and cost centres for routes and plants, migrate your customers' contracts with their visits and quantities, your fleet and your materials balances from Excel for free, train operations and finance remotely in Arabic, then issue your first billing cycle with you.
